new truck driver wife

Hello.
First off I want to say how great it was to find this website. :)

My husband left today for training. He will be gone 3-6 weeks. He will then be able to come home on the weekends. Im not sure what to expect. I know i feel very empty right now with him being gone.

Im use to him being here every night cooking supper together going to church and basically spending as much time together as possible.

I just keep reminding myself that things could always be worse. He is doing this to keep our family stability.

No matter how hard you try the pain of missing him is still right there. Any advice or anything that can help for the days to come?

God bless!

A lil advice NEW
by: Anonymous

Mine just finished training, his days were long and contact minimal, shorter answers than normal, and hardly any phone calls. Keep busy, and if you have kids old enough to miss him keep them busy as you can. Eat ice cream for supper if you need to. Eve if he can't answer you let him know your thinking of him, and ask for his opnion on things, that made my man feel like he was important back home even tho he wasn't here. Don't be afraid to cry, and don't be afraid of telling him you did because you miss him, he misses you too and don't be hesitant about venting (here,to friends, whatever works) if you don't it'll make it worse(I tried and became cranky with my kids, that's when we had a heart to heart and things got so much better)
